Re: ported box for a 15" d2

I am having mine made right now by Dustin at www.gnomeaudio.com just read around, you will see that he does awesome work for a good price. what are you looking to spend on one? and what size is your box going to be tuned to what?

Dustin actually posted up box plans for a 15" magnum, 3 ft cube tuned to 28 hz I think, like a week ago. Recommended enclosure for a 15 is 4 ft cubed though. If you have the tools you might purchase a box plan from Dustin or make up the plans and do the box yourself. It saves quite a bit of money. Dustin's boxes are cheap but the shipping is really killer.

You'd have to talk to him, 1" mdf isn't light though.

Re: ported box for a 15" d2

would a d2 be ok in a 2cu or 3cu box? what would be the difference in sound?

would this box work its 3cu ft but it dosent say a tuning... does that matter. the total cost after shipping is 69.99 is that worth it or should i get one made.. that is about the size i wanted though

no way man, that box is tiny. a ported mag suggests at least 4 cu ft. go for something a lot bigger in box size and a much lower tuning. just to the eye that port looks too big. get one made if you want quality, it's the only way trust me.

yeah **DONN** ;) at gnomeaudio will make you a great box. They are solid, and well built. Best custom boxes you can get for the price. DO NOT buy one off ebay or any generic one. The Magnum d2 is a great thing, and u don't want to ruin a great thing. peace
